I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THE MOON
(written only with words & phrases from quotes by the astronauts of the apollo missions
about the moon, or earth from the moon)
realize, not even the garden
of eden is infinite. make
these impossible molecules
live for more than a moment.
in the body, there emerges
an intense dissatisfaction:
is this it? are we so delicate?
high up, freedom associated
with the absence of home,
the sparkling darkness
of space; in a different
world, the veiled crater
of my neck, flushed with
sunlight. we’re too young
to understand that we’re
too young to understand.
all of us, i mean. i touched
with one hand the ancient
mystery of the heavens,
sky-blue—and look at that!
i’m really here! i’m really
here, quite close to you.
